Abstract
Folk literature always has known to be a very special and abundant world in terms of the inclusion of its lyrical figures/subjects (and not only), in which case, as such, being recognized from time to time, it has helped very easily also the creation of later artistic literature, with all its periods and characteristic peculiarities. In its entirety, within a large and well-known multitude of lyrical and epic subjects, within a large multitude of its explosions in the most diverse motifs, comes out the figure of Muji, the figure of the main kreshnik in the songs composed for the kreshniks of Jutbina under the motif of preserving the land, face and inherited pride.
In this paper, using the method of deduction, as well as the method of literary analysis, the figure of such a hero will be presented within several songs, namely: the song of his marriage, the song of the appearance of the Oret as special and quite found mythological figures, his song to the king, the song of his power, the song of Gjogu, the song of the siege in the tower and finally, in the song of his burial. In all these songs of the epic, will be seen the uniqueness of oral creativity, so in a special way will be recognized the uniqueness of the folk epic, as well as the natural flow for its preservation (despite the changes over time) until today.
